Description
A beautiful true and authentic 1921 Martin Wasp Rickshaw Model B Phaeton, one of only three known examples in the world.
Hand-built in 1947 with NOS parts directly sourced from original manufacturer Karl H Martin. A dramatic and flamboyant Nickel Era automobile that once formed part of the Tupelo Automobile Museum.
It has a 355 cid Wisconsin T-head inline four-cylinder engine, 70 HP, single updraft carburettor and four-speed Brown-Lipe selective-shift manual transmission. It also features semi-elliptic front leaf springs and full-floating Timken rear axle, rear wheel drum brakes and a wheelbase of 130".
This 1921 Martin Wasp Rickshaw Model B Phaeton was built with some of the finest materials. Famed actor Douglas Fairbanks Sr was a proud owner of one.
